At some point as we develop and grow as humans, the desire to maintain our health fields of dwindle. Our ability to earn income, and maintain what is known as a comfortable lifestyle definitely does draw away from other aspects that used to be important. When you are a child going up, I'm pretty sure that if you are not the overweight one, you were being ostracized for being overweight yourself. As an adult, if you have had a chance to get into shape, you will find a lot of the same people who harassing you have put on more weight then was acceptable when you were children. This is now leading to an effect I call the Pregnant Man.

Please note, the majority of the body remains somewhat slender, while the stomach protrudes outwards.

What once was a serious social issue, is now something that is acceptable. This is a combination of financial control, adults ability to delegate the lives of others with their financial ability and power, and the fact that many people have simply given up and choose other means of accepting their behavior.
